Help - Upgrade to Sponsored listing

[Shannon Hutcheson]

I see that users must now sign up for sponsored links when they add their listing. There appears to no longer be a way for users to upgrade their listing.

If I submitted their listing personally, how can they upgrade to sponsored?I need the user to be able to still upgrade their listing.

Please advise.

Hi Shannon,
You are right. Only registered visitors can upgrade their listings, no way for regular visitor to upgrade a listing. Please how better make this functionality. Should we create additional page where they input their link id and choose sponsored plan to upgrade?

[Shannon Hutcheson]

That would work Simon. However, the user may have some difficulty in figuring out what their link ID is.

Is it possible to re-use the same function as the previous version? Go to the link and click 'upgrade listing' under link details?

To me that would be the most obvious and easiest for users.

[Simon Gooffin]

Sure, I will provide you the code some later :) Just don't forget to recall about this functionality in a week or so

[Shannon Hutcheson]

ok, so remind you next week? I didn't understand what you meant.

In the meantime, when someone does suggest a link themselves, the sponsored amounts show but there is no description of what those numbers mean or are for. Where can I change this?

I see in suggest-link2.tpl the following:

<p class="field">{$lang.sponsored_plan}:
{$lang[$plan.name]} - {$config.currency_symbol}{$plan.cost}
<input type="hidden" name="plan" id="plan" value="{$plan.id}"/></p>

Shouldn't the plan name be shown then?

edit: If I made the plans before the 1.2 pro upgrade, would I maybe miss the plan names in the english.php file? If that's all it is, easy fix. How do I tell what to put in the language file then? Should I just remake the plans?

edit 2: I remade the plans and added the proper info to the language file. This part of my issue is now solved. :applause:

Yes you need to add to language file.

I'm using Pro 1.2, added this on my test site on the link-display.tpl for the template i'm using (GreenLeaves) right under the if $config.amazon statement.

{if $config.paypal_module}
| {$lang.upgrade_listing} ({$config.base}{$config.dir}upgrade-link.php?id={$link.id}&amp;category={$category.id})
{/if}

Seems to be working fine for now; however, i havent submitted a payment :)

[Shannon Hutcheson]

It appears to work Ryan, thank you!

I haven't tested payment either though... :D

[liquidesert]

all right, well i think the payment portion works as well but not 100% sure. I get an error, but received the same error before trying this :unsure:

Error: Incorrect link id during payment processing.

not sure if this is important, the url that shows with the error......

http://www.links.beatstorm.com/error.php?error=667

Anyways, thanks for Upgrade listing Help!! And if anyone knows why it says incorrect link id, that would be great.....and it's not because there's a .htaccess file in there, removed that already :D

thanks again
